Zechariah 14:21

the Canaanite a Canaanite, R. V. Some would render, the merchant, a meaning which the word bears in Job 41:6 [Heb., 40:30]; Proverbs 31:24, and understand the prediction to be, that as any and every vessel that came to hand would serve his purpose, the sacrificer would no longer need to buy a special vessel, and therefore the traffickers in such wares (comp. John 2:14; Matthew 21:12) would cease to frequent the Temple courts. The whole scope of the passage, however, is in favour of the view that "the Canaanite" here means any unclean person, whether heathen who had not accepted the religion and consecrated himself to the service of Jehovah (Nehemiah 13:4-9; Acts 21:28-29), or Jew who in heart and life was no better than a heathen (comp. "O thou seed of Chanaan and not of Juda," Story of Susanna, ver. 56). The true scope of the prophecy is that city of which it is written, "There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life," Revelation 21:27.
